Saul Steinberg

Saul Steinberg (1914-1999)    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Steinberg  , a New York City illustrator, made work that utilized perspective that was slightly "off", deliberately to create an effect that was all his own.

The piece above for an example-the art on the walls is a perfect candidate for simple one point perspective, which he used, but he tweaked the angles just a little.  Makes the image interesting.  It is this manipulation of perspective that also makes collage interesting.   The piece below is straight forward perspective-wise, but he so beautifully captures the vertiginous quality of the building...

The reworking this piece below will employ these concepts.  This piece got sold a while ago, but I would like to make it larger scale, and to spend more time on the perspective so that it is tight, but tweaked a little..

 Tomorrow marks the second week of school.  Tomorrow I am meeting with my "assistant" assigned by our professor.  This will be a four hour long session, and I am very much appreciating how I am forced to think a different way to accomplish this.   ~*~*~*
